New Mexico in Focus examines fracking, naloxone

New Mexico in Focus looks at fracking across New Mexico with Producer Sarah Gustavus discussing the controversial method with local community activists from the Navajo Nation and Mora County. They share concerns about what hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, could do to the water and land in their communities.

Correspondent Gwyneth Doland moderates a discussion this week on safety concerns about fracking with Wally Drangmeister from the New Mexico Oil & Gas Association and Erik Schlenker-Goodrich from the Western Environmental Law Center.

The program airs Friday nights at 7 p.m. on channel 5.1 and appears online on the NMiF website shortly thereafter. The show rebroadcasts Saturday at 5 p.m. on channel 9.1 and again on Sunday at 7 a.m. on channel 5.1.
